Apple photo geotag misspelling10/6/2023 Photo uploads taking forever? Pause it for the day, and try uploading overnight when bandwidth is better. If you’re seeing Internet slowdowns, open Photos, open the Preferences window, click to the iCloud tab and click the Pause For One Day button. Even when Photos is not running, your Mac will continue to upload photos to iCloud. If you’ve felt like your Internet connection has grown sluggish since you started using Photos, it may not be your service provider! I’ve heard from many users (and seen myself) that iCloud Photo Library can be quite a bandwidth hog. Once you’ve added map data to your photos, you can just import those files directly into Photos, and the app will understand and display their proper geotag information. Most of these utilities let you use an app on your iPhone to record your location while you’re shooting, and then transfer that location to your pictures by syncing up the clock on your iPhone with the time stamp on your image files. There are a bunch of different geotagging apps out there. Use Image Capture to add map data to your non-geotagged photos. Import all your photos to a folder, and then use a geotagging utility to add map data. I recommend Image Capture, a utility that’s made by Apple and appears on every Mac. If you want to add location data to all of your photos that aren’t taken by an iPhone, you’ll need to import the images directly onto your Mac. (Or you can keep the setting to Optimize Mac Storage and put your faith in iCloud.) Then if you want, you can choose the Download Originals to this Mac preference and create a single library on your hard drive that contains all the images from all your libraries. Keep repeating this approach until all your libraries are in iCloud. Merge multiple iPhoto accounts into a single Photos account by uploading them one by one. (To save time, set Photos to Optimize Mac Storage-that way it won’t attempt to download all of the photos you just uploaded from the other library.) Then switch to the iCloud tab and be sure iCloud Photo Library is turned on. Once that library’s open, open the Preferences window and in the General tab, click the Use as System Photo Library button. Once your first library has uploaded to iCloud-you can check in the iCloud tab in Photos’ Preferences window to see if it’s done syncing-launch Photos with the Option key held down and you’ll be able to open a different photo library. So to sync multiple libraries together, you need to upload them in turn. Photos will only sync one library, designated as the System Photo Library, with iCloud. Pay Apple for the privilege-$10 per month for 500GB of storage, or $20 per month for 1TB.) (If you’ve got a large library like mine, prepare to If you’re committed to using iCloud Photo Library, you can pour all your libraries into it one by one, and in the end you’ll have one big library. I feel your pain-iPhoto got so slow a few years back that I split my library in two, so I’ve got two separate libraries that both number more than 20,000 photos. I’ve heard from a lot of people who want to merge multiple iPhoto libraries into a single Photos library.
